sents the inconsistency of using: one factor for determining the 
classification and another for determining the time allowance that 
is the classification is based on .the 1. w. 1. and the time allowance 
on the racing length. 
Among other points in favor of this method of classification it 
may be said that it will give to the owner a much greater liberty 
in choosing the dimensions and proportions of his vessel. As the 
class into which any vessel would fit would be determined not by 
length of water line nor yet by sail area but by the divided sum of 
factors representative of these two features; so that it would prac- 
tically make sail and length exchangeable— a part of one for the 
part of the other. 
It would follow tha,t an owner whose purpose and convenience 
would be met by having a. vessel of somewhat greater length than 
others could have that kind of yacht if content with the amount 
of sail -which corresponded to the length and which would keep 
his vessel within the limits of his class. The contrary of this 
would hold good also and by giving up some length a greater 
amount of sad— equivalent to the length given up— could be gained. 
Further than this the addition of length to a yacht to improve 
her speed or accommodations would not necessarily result in her 
leaving the class she had previously belonged to. 
Whatever further advance may be made in future in a knowl- 
edge of matters and proportions which govern speed it would seem 
that nothing could to this end be more helpful and hopeful than 
the enactment of such a. rule as is suggested with the enlargement 
of experience and opportunities for comparison which it would 
give in any class were it operated. 
Your committee were also unanimous in their opinion that a 
limit should be placed to the number of persons a yacht might 
carry in a race so as to prevent the use of men as ballast and after 
consulting with a number of the leading racing men in the club 
the formula as recommended was adopted. 
In order to place before the owners of yachts the bearing of the 
recommended re-classification and of the formula for determining 
the allowance for crew your committee have appended hereto a 
statement showing the present classification the proposed classifi- 
cation and the limit of crew applied to every sailing vessel on the 
list of recorded'measurements at the date when this report was 
prepared.

nia having no competitor but Valkyrie I., of 70ft. 1. w. 1., and dis- 
posing of her by some 16 min. On Feb. 21 the Prince of Wales 
arrived at Cannes. Ailsa has not yet reached the Mediterranean. 
Dacotah has been sent out, and will be raced against several 
French and English yachts. 
Rex. steam yacht, formerly Dandy, lias been sold by E. D. Fox 
to W. B. Tyler, of Fredericksburg, Va. 
Anew yacht club, named the Pleasant Point Y. C, was organized 
on Feb. 19, with the following officeis: Com., Thos. O'Neil; Vice- 
Corn., V S. Henderson: Rec. Sec, Frank Smits; Fin. Sec, Chas. 
Raynor; Treas., W. B. Howard, Jr. Trustees: M. S. Hollis, Frank

"V S. Henderson and Frank Francis. The club has 25 members, 
and will be located at Pleasant Point, Jamaica Bay. 
Wanda, steam yacht, H. S.Henry, reached Jacksonville from 
Havana on Feb. 9. 
The building committee of the Huguenot Y. C. have commenced 
the erection of the club's new house at New Rochelle. The plans 
are quite elaborate, and provide for a workshop and locker-room, 
spar and sail loft, assembly room, library, janitor's rooms, and 
lavatories. The club has secured a. lease of the plot of ground at 
the foot of Neptune Road, and will have splendid facilities for the 
landing of boats. 
The Roberts Safety Wa,ter Tube Boiler Co., of New York and 
Red Bank, N. J., has lately increased its cash capital and extended 
its plant to meet orders, being busier this year than ever before in 
the winter season. The boilers are now built on royalty by the 
Union Iron Works in San Francisco, and the Bertram Engine 
Works in Toronto. The company claims that it has the oldest pipe 
boiler in the market, and that in building nearly eight hundred 
boilers the only improvements have been in details of construction 
and the use of better material, the essential features of the design 
being unchanged. 
Messrs. George F. and Jas. G. Bishop, sons of the late Wm. 
Bishop, are now carrying on the business of yacht plumbing, in 
which Mr. Bishop was so Iwell known, under the name of Wm. 
BishoD's Sons, their main office in New York being supplemented 
by a branch in Brooklyn, near Tebo's. The firm has long been 
noted for the excellence of its work in all branches of yacht and 
ship plumbing and barss-work. 
Steam Yachts at the Seahury Works. 
■ Probably one of the busiest yacht building concerns in the coun- 
try to-day is the firm of Charles L. Seabury & Co.. at Nyack, N. Y. 
While half of ;the people in the country are worrying about the 
gold bonds, credit, etc., there are yet many left who have confi- 
dence enough to go ahead and enjoy themselves and take advan- 
tage of what thoy have, believing that the United States will come 
out on top, as it always has. Seabury & Co. have under course of 
construction six yachts and launches, from 35 up to 120 feet. They 
also have prospects of several other good sized ones. They are 
now building one 35 feet long for Mr. H. G. Seguine, of Rossville, 
S. I., a very complete little launch. The 50-ft. mahogany "flyer," 
for Mr. Alfred Marshall, of the Larchmont Y. C, will be planked 
and finished throughout in solid mahogany, the wood to bs finished 
in natural color, thoroughly rubbed down and polished, and when 
completed will be almost too _ice to be placed in the water; in 
fact, she will look more like a piece of house furniture in finish 
than a launch that is to stand the rough-and-tumble of the sea. 
This yacht is to have a speed of 20 miles per hour; thoroughly 
equipped with the latest design triple expansion engine and water 
tX The next boat in construction is a 60-f i. yacht for Dr. W. A. Has- 
kell, of Alton, 111., a most beautiful craft. She is arranged prac- 
tically as a day boat, but the transoms are also constructed so 
tha,t the forward and after saloon can easily be changed into very 
airy and commodious taterooms. This yacht is of what is called 
the high trunk cabin tvpe. and is of the very nicest design for 
inside work, and also for trips of a few day on the bays and Sound: 
they are also very good sea boats, as some of the yachts of the type 
built by Seabury have made numerous trips to Southern ports for 
winter cruising. The yacht is finished throughout in polished 
mahogany, fitted with proper toilet service and a large gallev 
completely equipped. The furnishings will be of the finest bilks 
and plushes throughout. A' large pilot house is constructed for- 
ward forming a delightful place to lay off for afternoon sailing. 
She will have a speed of about 14 1-2 to 15 miles per hour, and is 
fitted with a verv fine triple expansion engine of the latest design, 
and a "Seabury" safety water tube boiler. 
The next yacht under process of construction is a 65-ft. schooner 
ringed half trunk cabin craft with long overhangs forward and 
aft for a prominent N. Y. yachtsmau, who formerly owned a 
smaller yacht of Seabury's build. This is a more beamy yacht, 
and is built with a deck all around the trunk cabin, making her 
of a more seaworthy type, and capable of going anywhere along 
the coasst in the weather which generally .prevails in summer. 
She will be thoroughly equipped fi om stem to stern, in the most 
approved modern style. The furnishings throughout will be of 
silk and plush, toned to match all the finish in the different 
saloons. There will be a large saloon arranged forward and also 
one aft The after one will be used as a dining-room, and is in 
close connection with the galley. These saloons will be finished 
in ivory and gold, and will also be tinted partiallviu old rose; 
there will be a. large pilot house and social hall coustructed for- 
ward, pleasantly arranged for easy chairs. The social hall will 
be finished in polished mahogany, as will also be the toilet room, 
galley and wine locker. This vacht will be rigged with sails, awn- 
ing etc., and will make a perfect little home for cruising. She 
will be used mostly on L. I. Sound, around the prominent yacht 
Cl Last week the firm received an order from a veteran N. Y. 
yachtsman for a 100-ft. flush deck steam yacht, schooner rigged, 
of the very latest design, to be constructed with a large social hall 
on deck forward, with a bridge, over same, brass rail all around the 
bridge and top of social hall, forming one of the pleasantest kind 
of yachts for extensive cruising during the yacht races. This 
yacht will be built with very good freeboard. Her deck eq moment 
will be the most completed she will carry two boats; one to be a 
gig the other one of the latest type launches about 17 ft. long. She 
will be rigged complete with sails of good weight suitable to do 
good service at sea, and will carry a jib. foresail and mainsail. A 
large social hall will be constructed on the forward deck, finished 
complete in solid mahogany, natural color, rubbed down and pol- 
ished throughout. . 
A large buffet will be arranged in the after end of the social hall, 
of a very pretty and artistic design; this social hall will be 
arranged as a dining saloon, and a dunib-waiterjwill be connected 
with the galley arranged below. The main saloon and owner's 
stateroom will be arranged aft; thi ssaloon will be finished in ivory 
and gold. The owner's staterooms, two in number, will be 
arranged with two wide berths in each, also with large dressing- 
cases with mirrors, etc These rooms will be connected by sliding 
doors' between same; this door will really be two ;iarge long mir- 
rors one on each side showing in each stateroom, which will be 
very much appreciated by the ladies. The finish of these saloons 
will be in maple, and the hangings will be of soft tones to matoh. 
A bathroom will be arranged, finished in cherry and plumbed in a 
most complete manner. On the opposite side of the.'yacht will be 
arranged the toilet room, which will be finished in cedar. All the 
Hangings of the saloon will be in silks and plush of the very finest 
quality. The yacht wdl be lighted throughout with a large elec- 
tric light plant, and a very powerful search light arranged on top 
of the social hall forward. In face, she will be as complete and 
desirable a yacht as one could ask for. 
The work on the Huntress, Mr. F. C. Fowler's yacht, is progress- 
ing very rapidly, she is nearly all planked, with double skin 
throughout. The decks are on, and all caulked and puttied. The 
saloon on deck is now being placed in position, also the joiner 
work for the main saloon and stateroom. The machinery is pro- 
gressing very rapidly. The boiler is being set up in position in the 
boiler room of the yacht, and is progressing as fast as could be de- 
sired This firm hope to launch the Huntress in the latter part 
of April and from the way the work is now progressing there is 
every prospect that they will do so. No finer yacht for general 
cruising can be built: she will be thoroughly complete throughout 
in deck equipment, furnishings, electric light, search light, etc. 
The work of making the alterations to the steam yacht Silva, 
owned by Mr. Jesse Metcalf, of Providence, is progressing rapidly, 
and she will be ready in the early spring. . 
The firm has also a number ot other yachts undergoing altera- 
tions and repairs; they are £lso building all the cutters and gigs 
to be used on the above-mentioned yachts; as well as several boil- 
ers and engines for yachts of other construction outside of their 
own. — 
In Fly Time. 
* The West Branch from North East Carry to Chesuncook Lake, 
is a strong river flowing between heavily wooded banks at a width 
of forty yards, its dark waters broken only by numberless minia- 
ture whirlpools. Sout woods predominate along the shores, which 
are impenetrable to any distance. One finds, however, many ex- 
cellent camp sites, selected and cleared by skilled guides. 
_ Late on the afternoon of June 21, 1894, Steve and I drove our 
canoe into a small creek above Moosehorn Stream. There was just 
time to swing the tent and carry three hundred pounds of ''stuff" 
up a steep bank. Then came darkness, rain and mosquitoes. 
This was our "coming out" in Maine woods and we were objects 
of much attention. Forcing down a couple of sardine sandwiches 
and liberally sampling our several fly-creams, we fled to the tent, 
there to swelter under heavy blankets till sleep put an end to our 
misery. ji 
The following morning we had our first taste of "quick" water 
in Rocky Rips and Pine Stream Falls. The former,, a mile stretch 
of fairly heavy rapids, we ran without any trouble, painting all 
rocks of any size along <">ur course. The latter consists of three 
distinct pitches, followed by a mile;of still rapids. This is a favo- 
rite spot for inexperienced canoeists, as the guides would say, "to 
make holes in the water." We were fortunate in having a good 
pitch of water, and ran through safely on the paddle, taking the 
right at first, crossing and shooting the third pitch close to the 
left bank. 
From the Carry to "Suncock" we saw seven deer, six of them 
does. They were quite tame, allowing us to paddle up within 
twenty-five yards. We had great hopes of one group, a buck, doe 
and fawn, "taken" near Fox Hole. In the negative, however, only 
the buck showed, and he so small that we call this our puzzle pict- 
ure; the puzzle being to find the buck. 
A strong north wind, not apprec ated on the river, had blown up 
a nasty sea on the lake. Fierce waves struck the boom at the 
mouth of the river. Whitecaps extended as far as eye could reach, 
and a considerable surf broke over the marshy shores. 
Making everything fast and spreading rubber blankets, we 
rashly sat out for the mouth of Caucomgomoc Stream, a mile 
across the most exposed part of the lake. That we had underes- 
timated the force of the waves ^was apparent on reaching the 
open. Huge yellow rollers swept clear over the stern, drenching 
Steve and fast settling the canoe, already loaded nearly to the 
gunwales. There was no turning back; it was a case jot beat the 
waves or swim for it. The bow would run up on the crest of a big 
wave, then slump down into the trough, sending spray on either 
side and into my faces and over my knees. One minute my paddle 
would be wildly fanning the air, the next completely buried in the 
muddy waters'^of the bay. Steve in the stern fared little better. 
Desperate paddling, however, won the day and an hour later as 
we discussed a supper of fried bacon and potatoes, bread and 
coffee, in a cosy little camp just off the lake we blessed this same 
north wind for the most comfortable night of the trip 
It had been our intention to take only the regular Allagash trip, 
but we were so charmed by the Cancomgomoc that we could not 
leave it so soon for the slow, sluggish Umb^zookskus. 
Paddling through a pretty lakelet to the first falls, small patches 
three and four feet, respectively, we landed and pointed our rods 
for the first time. Chubb were plenty, but no trout, and making 
two short carries on the left, we pushed on two miles pasi Brandy 
Brook, to second falls, a single pitch of seven feet. Some large 
logs had hung up on the brink of the falls and from them I got 
our first trout, a beauty, weighing two and a quarter pounds. The 
carry here, a short one, lies also on the left. 
In extensive marshes at the head of Black Pond, a bulge in the 
stream two miles long, we saw several deer and a caribou. The 
latter took alarm first and bounded away, his branching antlers 
laid far over his back. It was a pretty sight, and made Stove in 
the bow gaze wistfully at his 45:90, lying across the "grub bag." 
Beyond Black Pond the stream, narrows and the current in- 
creases. We were paddling leisurely along, enjoying the cool of 
early evening, when Steve suddenly dropped his paddle, and 
seized the rubber bag holding the camera. " What is it?" I whis- 
pered "A .moose, seel" And, sure enough, wading along by the 
shady shore, was a large cow moose, the .first we had ever seen. 
Such a homely, dirty beast. ^Several times she swung her great 
head toward us, then splashed along nibbling the green twigs. At 
one hundred feet Steve took up and pressed the button. The 
metallic click, when winding for a second shoOtartled the moose 
and she shambled up the bank and away. 
We had expected to see game, of course, but were hardly pre- 
pared to find deer, moose aud^caribou in such abundance, and 
tame enough almost to be caught with the proverbial salt- 
Above Little Scott Brook, our hearts rejoiced to see just peeping 
over a high bank, where the trees had been felled, the roof of a 
logger's cabin. Quickly landing, we carried all necessary stuff up 
a thirty-foot bank to the cabin, a low unfinished affair, standing 
on the edge of some verv swampy woods. It contained a small 
stove, and we celebrated the event by a supper of buckwheat 
cakes and maple syrup. When overcome by heat or smoke, we 
had but to stand erect and our heads reached through a partially 
sheathed roof. . 
I fain would pass over the next few hours. The memory even is 
painful. Steve remarked on the absence of mosquitoes as we 
spread our blankets on the cabin floor. "What a snap," he 
grunted, refusing my cream and crawling into his blanket bag. 
Fifteen minutes later he broke a painful silence. 'Midges! do 
you feel them?" Did I feel them? They filled that cabm in 
clouds. They filled our blankets. Any part of the body exposed 
for an instant burned as if by fire. No connected account of that 
night appears in our log. There are brief references and resolu- 
tions concerning logger's cabins in general. , , 
The. first gray dawn saw two miserable objects, each chewing a 
cold griddle cake, crawl down the bank and paddle silently away. 
We had intended to breakfast at the lake, but had reckoned 
without the "Horse race." Here the stream for a mile literally 
tumbles down hill at a depth of from six inches to three feet. Our 
skill with a setting pole not being equal to the occasion, we simply 
dragged through. Now from the Horse race" to the lake there 
are two miles more of heavy rapids. Dragging at best is hard 
work, and we, under the circumstances, found it doubly so. The 
longer we dragged, the less grew our interest in the lake, and at 
five o'clock we were glad enough to camp in a pretty spot a half 
mile below Cancomgomoc Lake. Here we stayed through the day 
and night, walking up to the lake, a beautiful sheet of water, 
seven miles long, and fishing with little success in nearby pools. 
We passed yet another day on the stream at second falls. There 
are several good trout pools just below the falls. Toward evening 
we shouldered our rifles and took a stroll up the tote road. We 
saw no deer, but got a pair of xed-eyed grouse, and ran across sev- 
eral coveys of partridges, The grouse were tough and tasted 
strongly of hemlock, but of course they went. 
For several miles the Umbazookskus is a sluggish, winding river, 
its shores strewn with dead trees, a most unpleasant contrast to 
the pretty Cancomgomoc. Making fast to a stump, in midstream, 
we ate a cold lunch and pushed on to a lagoon where we had to get 
out and cut our way out through several rods of partially sub- 
merged tree trunks. Two milos of poling and dragging brought 
us to Umbazookskus Lake. One'milc across the southeast corner 
is the beginning of the famous Mud Pond carry, announced by a 
tall pole topped with old pails and cans. 
Mr. Smith, the proprietor of a substantial cabin just off the lake, 
being absent, we escaped a nasty night outside under his roof. 
Everything inside was as neat as wax On the double husk bed 
was a barrel of hard tack for the fall campaign, Behind the 
range was a good pile of dry wood. Bringing up all our goods, we 
had a fine supper, and were soon glad enough to blow out our 
candle and lantern. 
The next morning we walked over to Mud Pond in a vain hope 
of finding means of transportation across the carry. Only a dis- 
mal looking pond, some two miles across.and dotted with muddy 
islands, rewarded our efforts. We evidently had struck the carry 
at high tide. From a couple of springs near the middle, streams 
of yellow water flowed in either direction in places deep enough 
to float a canoe. Tall spruce and hemlock woods through which 
the carry lies, were full of spruce partridges, and we ran across 
many fresh deer and moose tracks. 
Seeing a shingle sign, "To C. Murphy's Camp and Chamberlain 
Farm around the Mud Holes," and trusting to find somebody at 
the former -p lace, we started up the blazed' trail. Shingles every 
few rods reminded us ^that we were near our route for the Farm 
"around the Mud Holes." As a matter of fact, for five miles we 
were constantly wallowing through very muddy holes, at times 
above our knees. A short distance from the lake we passed on the 
left, several large unroofed log cabins, presumably C. Murphy's, 
The association connected with log cabins being so unpleasant, 
we did not linger, but hurried on, and were soon seated on a large 
rock gazing across two miles of white-capped water, at Chamber- 
lain Farm. How attractive the white unpainted buildings looked, 
standing out against a green hillside, glistening in the afternoon 
sunlight. 
It was quite dark when we stumbled into one cabin, a pretty 
well done up pair. A brief interview with our "Saratoga," a small 
hand-bag containing fly cream, medicines, etc., gave us strength 
and courage. A good supper and pipe and we had forsaken our 
resolutions made in the depths, to camp where we spent a few 
days, then drop back to Kineo. PHILIP A. FOWLER.

Sailing Under A. C. A. Rules. 
(From thelField.) 
f£The scene is ever changing in canoeing, whether it be to the river 
paddler subduedly 'screaming with rapture at the panorama of 
pretty bits" unfolding constantly before him as he shoots the rap- 
id, scrapes over the shallow, .or glides down the silent, deep, black 
pool: or to the winter-bound sailing racing man eagerly contem- 
plating the prospects of the coming season's sport. But the scene 
is. indeed, changing in the racing sphere, not only hare in England, 
but also -with our cousins in America. Racing in small canoes has, 
we have known for a long time, been on the ebb, and measures 
-were at last accepted by some of our clubs to attempt to stop the 
downward ebb by the constitution of a relaxed racing class and a 
substantial cruising class. But, of course, it is not a mere defini- 
tion or class creation that will of itself bring men and boats in to 
make a fleet. We have acted in England, and Ithere can be little 
doubt that such action will generally tend to a better state of 
canoe sailing, and, in a larger class, to a more usef id tvpe and size 
of canoe. . . 
On the other hand, in America, where canoe-racmg is suffering 
much in the same line as ours is, no steps have been taken to alter 
the A. C. Association rules of regular classification, but all is being 
left to the chance of freaks and pranks of local legislation inUouba, 
and thus, with irresponsible critics and advisers hailing from 
various isolated parts of the country, peculiar developments may 
be expected in the clubs, if. in fact, thoy move; but, as a rule, they 
mostly race entirely under A. C. A. rules; if so, nothing will be 
done. However this may be, there are proposals before the Ameri- 
can canoeists which may be acted upon, and even adopted, at the 
annual meet. 
Some of the proposals are likely to "raise the dust," even though 
on the water, especially the suggestion to abolish the sliding deck 
seat; and that, too, is in America, under a rule giving unlimited 
sail, but at the same time limiting beam to 30 iu.: it won't go yet 
awhile, at least, we see no valid reason. If the sliding seat were 
to~.be cut out of the English rule, the immediate result would be 
heavy'bulb-keels. However, we years ago advocated the sliding 
seat as a most powerful and enjoyable fitting for anysailine canoe, 
but that has always been in conjunction with i modern limited 
sail area; but the American suggestion under unlimited sail area 
and very limited beam would put canoe sailing iu no better posi- 
tion, even i f extremely deep dagger plates, bulb ballasted, were at 
the same time allowed. 
The evilwhi2h we in England have;now legislated against is 
rampant in America at the present moment, and is well summed 
up bv "Guyasoutus" in Forest and Stream thus: "The. rules have 
allowed the modern canoe to develop into an extreme racing 
machine, carrying too much sail and too long a sliding seat, and 
thus making it so much work, and also so dangerous, that most 
people, and good canoeists, too, don't care to keep it up. ... a. 
man has got to be an expert gymnast, ahove the average, to sail a 
racing canoe in a race." 
The ridiculous enforcement of monkey gymnastics into what 
should be simply pure sailing was amply before the eyes of Eng- 
lish canoomen all last year in the butterfly performances of the 
American canoe Yankee. But the rules have been materially 
changed wince then, and a new comfortable cruiser class has been 
created in addition to', the racing machine class; and it onlv re- 
mains to be seen whether, with a reasonable amount of prizes put 
to such a new class, the old-time comfortable sailing may not be 
revived this year. Already, before the programme for the season 
has been made, a £10 prize has been given into the Royal Canoe 
Club for the new class, a ,nd no doubt others will follow. It is the 
nearest approach to the "one class one design" scheme, whioh is 
so popular in some quarters for small yacht racing. It has all the 
good of that scheme without the evils. The sweets of sailing one's 
own design, both of hull and rig, are left to the owner, and he is 
not forced to own a poorly built cheap boat; and yet he can have 
such if he likes, and in any case he knows th.it other competitors, 
owing to the definition rule, cannot far outbuild or outrighim in 
the racing machine direction, and, if fail he does at racing, he 
knows he has anyway a comfortable, useful knockabout craft left 
for other purposes.
